Pluspunten

- The leadership team is well connected to industry leaders, making it more likely the company will enjoy some success - The technology stack, though cumbersome and flawed, is better than competitive solutions. (Lets face it, enterprise software is not on the cutting edge) - Lots of salty snacks - Cool Halloween parties - Family friendly

Minpunten

- In order to work on anything remotely interesting or have any idea taken seriously, you have to be vetted by old timers (the trusted lieutenants, the capo-regime). If you aren't, then you will be digging ditches and carrying out the garbage (don't worry, theres a lot of it). Being vetted is inversely proportional to your critical thinking skills. - Your ideas are either a) not good OR b) not your ideas. It will take some time to convince you of this fact, but rest assured, you will be convinced. - The company has strategically decided not to invest in growing/mentoring senior software developers. If you are junior, you will have a path forward. If you are a vetted senior (i.e principal), you can proceed in any which way you like. Good ideas/work are rewarded, bad ideas/poor decisions are washed clean of your name.

Pluspunten

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Minpunten

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
